Another of Those Horrible Rail-

An Excursion Train and Freight
Train Collide.
A Fire Follows and u Number
of Lives Lost.

ST. THOMAS, July 15.-An excursion
train on the London and Port Stanley
railroad was run into this evening at II
crossing in this city by Canada
Southern freight train. The engine OF
the freight train went clear through
the passenger train and rolled over
into the ditch. 1t is reported that the
engineer is under his engine that one
lady passenger has been burned to
death and that several Others are
missing.
ST.. THOMAS, Ont, July 15-A ter
rible accident occurred at the crossing
of the Grand Trunk and Michigan
Central railways in this city about
7 O'Clock this evening. An
excursion train on the Grand
Trunk from Port Stanley ran into
passing freight train on the Michigan
Central made up of n number of cars
laden with oil. The engine crashed
into one OF these cars, when the oil in
stantly took fire and burned with great
fierceness, communicating to the cars
on both trains and extending to Grif-
fins warehouse and coal and lime
sheds adjoining the track on the west,
and Jno. Campbell's dwelling ON the
east, all of which were burned to the
ground with their contents. Engineer
Donnelly of the excursion train was
burned in the wreck. His fireman
jumped and escaped with slight injur-
les The forward Car OF the excursion
train was filled with passengers,
who made frantic efforts to escape, but
Notwithstanding hundreds of brave
and willing hands were Immediately at
work to assist in the rescue, it is feared
a number of lives have been lost, and
they will be burned beyond recognition
before their bodies can be got out OF
the wreck. At 8 o'clock, when thou
sands OF people were crowding around
the burning pile, one of the oil tanks
on the cars suddenly exploded, throw
ing hundreds to the ground with great
force and scattering fire in all direc-
tions, and severely, perhaps fatally,
injuring many. At s 80 o'clock nine
bodies were taken out. They were
burned to a crisp.
1t is almost impossible to ascertain
with any certainty the names ofthose
lost in the wreck until the arrival OF
the train from Port Stanley. There
are many conflicting rumors, but it
seems almost certain that engineer III.
Donnelly, Mr.. Zealand, clerk in j.
w. Nickleborough's dry good store
and child and wife and the child of
Jas. Smithers, dry goods merchant,
were burned to death. A son of Mr..
Potts, master mechanic of the Michi-
gan Central railroad was burned on
the neck and scores of Others who
were taken to their homes
before their names could be learned.
Gangs of men under direction of Supt.
Marford and Assistant Superintendent
Morehead of the Michigan Central
railroad and j. Stewart, agent for the
Grand Trunk railroad, are hard at work
removing the debris and it is expected
that the track will be cleared by day
light. All telegraph wires were destroy
ed and several poles were burned, thus
interrupting communication.

He Need Not Have Died.

ArIo Bates in Prov id ence Journal.
A very touching and significant remark was
repeated to me the other day. After the death
of the late Delano A. Goddard letters of appre-
cation of coincidence, and of sorrow came to his
widow literally by hundreds, and for the first
time she had adequate idea of the respect and
esteem in which he had been held by those who
knew his worth and his ability.
sAh," she pathetically said to friend, 'if be
had known what people thought of him he need
not have died."
Those who know the modesty and self-distrust
of that rare nature will understand how much
force there in the remark; how great sup
port to Mr.. Goddard would have been the knowl-
edge that his work and his high sense of honor
were appreciated; aud how possible it is that the
consciousness Of the wide and cordial sympathy
which really existed might have prolonged the
life which was cut off in the midst of useful
and noble career. The work of editor is Pc
culiarly likely to show to the man doing it very
little of the true estimation in which it is held.
and Mr.. Godaardd's retiring nature made It at
least likely that he. of all men, should perceive
the broad mark which he was really making A
good many reflections might be made on text
9. fruitful. bnt the moral is obvious, and the re-
marx, evsn at this late day. has touched M.
profoundly.

Sparks and Black are at it hammer and tongs.
Sparks is at the head of the Land Office. and
Black is the physical wreck" who presides
over the Pension Office. Sparks ia warrior,
and so is Black. We remember occasion
that Sparks undertook to thrash a fellow
Congressman, Greenbacker Weaver. on the floor
of the House of Representatives. He didn't do
it then, nor did he succeed in coming back to the
next Congress. Perhaps he will not succeed in
securing the nomination for the Vice-presi-
dency. The interesting feature of Mr.. SparkSs
ambition is his dalliance with our David. It
shows what one, at least of Mr.. Cleveand's sub
ordinates thinks of his masters chances of a re-
nomination. Mr.. Sparks seeks an alliance with
Mr. Hill. of course. because he supposes that the
Governor of New York will carry the conven-
ton in 1883. Sparks is the kind of man whose
opinions are colored by the atmosphere in which
he lives, and he lives in the official atmosphere

Mr. Black pins his faith 10 nothing, so far as
we know, except his own bright eminence He
is running for the vice presidential nomination
without regard to who may be tho candidate for
President. And yet he ougn: to have a hope
that Mr. Cleveland will be renominated, for the
President has given MIR Black his opportunity
to make his campaign. And Mr. Black is max
ing his campaign on familiar old principles He
is using his Office political and personal
machine, and the President knows it. He is ap-
pOlnunR oIncerS OF his bureau In great numn erS,
and his own congressional district is the most
favored. The Democrats of that Republican
stronghold have received Offices of the annual
value of $22 $780, while in all the rest of the
State-nineteen congressional districts-there
only $55. 900 worth of offices distributed. Of
this amount the Democratic districts get $50 400,
! and Colonel Morrison gets only one poor clerk at

is Dir. Sparks, and they seem to forget that there

A Georgia Cyclone Cellar.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
One of the necessities of a residence in certain
of the States is the cyclone cellar, into which
the family descend in case of cyclone. Mr..
Brown. OF Eatontown. Ga, is said to have the
most luxurious one in the country. It is stu
ated near the back door of his residence and is
large enough to accommodate his entire family.
The walls are of brick, laid in cement. the floor
is carpeted, has Fireplace and chimney, and
the room is handsomely furnished. The family
could spend the night there with as much COM
fort as in the dwelling In preparing it Mr..
Brown had an eye to its permanency. and spared
no expense in making it pleasant and comforta-
ble To guard against the contingency of the
house blowing over on it and imprisonine the in
mates, large sewerppe leads off from the pit
In an opposite direction to the distance of one
hundred yards, through which the family could
escape. This unique underground dwelling is
thoroughly protected against water rising from
below or running in from above. II an earth
quake should, however, happen along smultane-
ously with the time that Mr.. Brown and his
family were in hiding from a cyclone. and the
bottom should drop out of the cellar he would
probably be indignant.

She Persists in Calling Herself the Wife of
the Anarchist.

Chicago Special.
The parents of Miss Nina Van Zandt, the
proxy wife of August Spies, the condemned An
archist, are greatly worried over the position in
which she is placed.
She persists in declaring herself the lawfully
welded wife of the Anarchist, signs herself
Mrs Spies,n and is so addressed by the limited
circle Of acquaintance who have chung to her
in spite Of her escarr:a.de. But the county clerk
has refused 10 make the alleged marriage a mat
ter Of record, and has returned the certificate to
the justice who performed the ceremony. with
the statement that as August Spies was in Jail
on the date of the marriage, the woman could
not have been married to him.
It is believed that If Justice Englehart ra-
turned the certificate to make it appear that the
male party was Chris Spies 1.-THE brother of the An
archist, and who acted as the proxy and answered
the questions in his brothers name, the clerk
would accept it But Nina does not want to be
Mrs. Chris. and, although she is too self-willed
to permit the situation to be calmly discussed,
her parents are undergoing good deal of mental
anxiety. Legal opinions which have been sought
have proven conflicting, and it is not improbable
that court of'law will eventually be called upon
to determine whether Nina is the wife Of August
Spies or of Chris Spies, or still a maiden with
